Christian Photographers Community

We left Kansas on Sept. 12, with two buses full of people.  We made some interesting stops along the way, and arrived in Niagara Falls on the 14th, and Pat and Paul were waiting when we got off the bus.  It was wonderful to see her again, and to meet Paul.  We enjoyed three wonderful days together, and also got to meet Gord and Noreen Brown, and saw Ruthie again for a few hours.  I hope to post some of the photos I took, so you can share the beauty of the trip with us.  We are heading for home tomorrow, so I won't be posting any more until I get there.

Horseshoe Falls

This is one of the last photos I took in Niagara Falls, looking out the window of the Summit Restaurant in the Skylon Tower as we ate dinner.

What a beautiful view, Janet.  Now that you've learned how to post pictures, I hope we'll be seeing lots from you.   

Great shot Janet!

And what a wonderful time we had for three days together!!  It was so lovely. 

I know we just can't wait for ten more years to get together, Janet!!!

So glad you were able to have such a great time together. 

Hello, everybody!  We arrived home last night, got back to Hugoton earlier than scheduled, for which we were thankful.  That gave us some time to catch up with Diane and Jeff and their family news (Diane is our daughter) then home to unpack and put away some things.  Up early this morning, started on the laundry (had a lot of it!) and put more things away.  Of course, seeing Beth was high on my priority list!  She had been in a lot of pain while I was away, she said, lots of headaches.

Thanks for your kind comments on the above photo.  Pat did her best to teach me (again!) to post them, now I will have to see if her lessons stuck!   

I'm home now and have Pat on the phone, so will try to start at the beginning and post photos in order, more or  less!  This should help me remember how to do it!




World War I Museum in Kansas City, MO  Darrel by an old plane outside the museum

Entrance to the museum

 
THE GLASS POPPY BRIDGE  There are 9,000 poppies beneath the glass bridge as you enter the museum.  Each single poppy represents 1,000 lives lost in battle in World War 1.  This does not include those who died from war related causes, only in battle.

This shows a little bit of what life was like for the men in the trenches.  What misery they endured!

Old ambulance from that era.

Another old plane.  I was surprised how tiny they were!

We were fortunate to be there when they were having a re-enactment, so we got to see authentic uniforms and equipment.  These two Scouts were learning some things!  (I love Boy Scouts!)

This plane had a polished wood propeller!

Janet, a great series of photos, and well done posting them! 

Thanks, Jeanne.  I tried to write down all the instructions, so maybe I can keep posting now. 

Great photos, Janet!  Looking forward to seeing more.  Love the ones of the World War 1 Museum. 

Janet, these are great photos.  I've said it before .... my dad was in the U.S. Army during WWI ... he went to Europe with the Army Engineers and, as I understand it, built bridges and roads.  Later ... after he had a family and lived in the Great Northwest ... he did the same thing with the WPA.

Thanks for sharing, Janet!  The pictures look very good!
